How can this sentence be improved to use active voice?

    I'm not sure it's truly passive. If it means "I would like someone to prepare me for X," I'd call that passive, but "prepared" as the object of "be" could, I think, be a predicate adjective. Change "prepared" to "ready" and you'll see how "prepared" could be an adjective, rather than a passive verb, in this case.

  • According to various grammar-based software (grammarly, microsoft) the phrase is passive and not active. I disagree that my answer was deleted and hope it will be undeleted as it is both a valid answer and accurate. Also, according to what I've read, the phrase I would like someone to prepare me for X is not passive (again, according to software); though I'm interested to learn more.

I would like to prepare for X.

I don't know if the above is correct, but this occurred to me immediately after posing my question (active voice is a challenge as passive voice comes more naturally to me).
